Future Job Ideas

[Riv]

No Thief? I would rather PUG also go to THF (Thieves do steal stuff with their hands), and have a new class that could be NIN or SAM. Or, I guess it could also make sense if THF was the class for NIN at least.

A Musketeer could go to something like a Corsair/Gambler and Chemist, even cooler if Chemist could be tied into Alchemist.

Shepherd could go to Beastmaster or Tamer.

I'd also love to see a Geomancer/Elementalist and Blue Mage, though not sure from what.

No love for jobs based on DoH or DoL T_T

[ZakarnRosewood]

I'm putting this in every thread like this I see. We are pretty much guaranteed to get the traditional classes from past FF games (THF NIN RDM etc) so why bother continuing to bring them up. I would prefer to come up with new and original ideas for jobs, something they may not have considered.

Jobs for the DoH and DoL that specialize them.

EG:
Culinarian - Pastry chef
Armorer - Heavy Armorer
Botinist - Lumberjack

Also new DoL/DoH classes
Shepherd (for choco raising)
Gardener (for growing your own stuff at your house)

For the DoM and DoW I want to see something unique to this world
Aether Knight (uses crystaline armor)
Aether Mage (uses crystaline rods)

Also I would love to see Advanced Jobs (Class/Job/Advanced Job)
Thaumaturge - Black Mage - Black Wizard
Marauder - Warrior - Knight

I would love to hear people expand on these ideas, it's much more interesting to think of instead of the usual "Want redmagez!" These are coming, just be patient. Lets give them ideas for new things, stuff we might not see.

I'd love to see:

Swashblucker: Pug 30 + Fisherman 15

Pirate: Archer 30 + Fisherman 15

Bombadier: Archer 30 + Alc 15

I think they should have some Jobs require the crafting professions to add an interesting spin on things.

I was gonna ask about an orator job but then maybe that could be for musketeer because I remember orator used guns.
So they can talk shit to bosses and it debuffs them and/or say a string of words to aoe buff allies like strength or whatever.

I know Dark Knights ha two-handed in XI, but I like the idea of the more traditional sword+shield kind as seen in IV. I know Yoshi said he wanted DK to have two-handed, and that he said it would be the counter of the Paladin as in be a GLD job. But if you make a GLD a two-handed user, you lose alot of attacks like Lob and Bash, and it just doesn't make sense to me.

If I had my way on it, I would make it 30/15 GLD/THM, and have the story line of it be that the Flame General himself is in reality a DK (look at the sword and shield he carries) and that is how he managed to take on and win every fight. Maybe make it that it is some lost order, the Lefthand of the Sultanate. Dark warriors who where the wrath of the sultan.

No Red Mage, Don't Want

[Gilraen]

The problem I see with the list is a matter of justification. Dark Knight is the DD's DD (seriously, nothing could out-damage a Dark Knight). As such, having it branch from Gladiator doesn't make much sense. If anything it should branch off either Marauder or Lancer (preferably Marauder), though sub-class of Thaumaturge is the most fitting. And Ninja was never a tank job, it was a DD job that could tank (poorly) like Monk, as such while I can see it based off Pugilist, I don't see Gladiator as a sub-class. Archer seems more fitting to Ninja as a sub-class.

if there was a new class I would like it to be THF, with THF + PUG you could make NIN (1handed katanas), BLM + LNC could make Darkknight (Scythe weapon), THF + MRD could make SAM (great Katana/2handed swords) but I guess that would need to be looked into, THF + ARC for RANGER (Lonbows only), THF + CON for Dancer? (Dual bladed weapons or dual weapons), also what we already have can be some other classes possible, but what I would like the DRK to have is Scythe rather then Great Swords, because you can make the great sword go for SAM. ofcourse you can have WHM + BLM for good Old RDM (rapeirs? Duelist weapons) who would focus on only astral and umbral spells like banish/dia/bio along with enchant weapon skills.
